Any new acquisitions?

[SpearHead]

So... has anyone managed to get anything new lately to add to your INFI or SR101 collections?

[MtMike]

Not in my hot little mohogany-dye-stained fingers yet, but I have a Ratweiler on the way, courtesy of the good folks who bring you Swamp Rats As oneof the Designated Sheathmakers for both Swamp Rat and Busse I get the new knives to use as models. I used to have to ask everyone to send me their knives if I didn't own one myself, which was both expensive and inconvenient. Knock on wood, haven't lost any knives in the mail (yet !) but that's always a possibility.
Eric told me I should be getting the Ratweiler soon -- so thoseof you who have one on order feel free to cntact me anytime to get your sheath ordered! And NO, the prices are NOT going up, they'll be the same as the Camp Tramp sheath prices

Well I got me one of those Mike T skinners from the Swamp. I have a Ratweiler on the way. Something custom from Jerry soon will be on it's way. I hope to snag one of those overruns if my net connection will let me stay online long enough.
I've had to reconnect twice while writing this post.

how much do the swamp rats cost?

[paradiggum]

For pricing on Rats check out www.swamprat.com. It's listed under knives.

metalking- I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the value you get in the SwampRat line. And don't read just the prices, look at the way SRKW has built these knives. And check out their guarantee - lifetime guaranteed against anything you can do to it !!

And pardon me for almost forgetting -- Welcome to KnifeNetworks !! You're gonna like it here

Yep!!
I managed to get one of those new Ratweilers. Wow they are a serious chunk of steel, very impressive indeed.

Here?s a picture of mine.

The EU17 will be the third piece of INFI for me to obtain and the second piece of INFI to keep. I should be one of the lucky European piglets to get one ...
Best regards

wow, that may have to be my next knife.....

[MtMike]

Metalking -- when you order it, don't forget you're going to need a nice leather sheath -- email or PM me for details

Mike

[metalking00]

they dont come with sheaths?

how much will one cost from you for a ratwieler?

[MtMike]

Metalking-- sent you a PM. The cordura sheath witha front pocket is an option with the Ratweiler, but has to be ordered sparately. Leatherman and I both make leather sheaths for all of the SwampRat and Busse knives. Here's the link to the SRKW order page. https://host4.apollohosting.com/swam...rder/order.mv?
Check out the custom sheath I made for a really nicely customized Camp Tramp, in my T1mpani thread below in this Forum

How should orders be placed with you Mike. And how about pricing info?
I have a Camp Tramp that would love one of your sheaths.
No exotic leather necessary, It's gonna take a beating.

[MtMike]

filmic --- welcome to KnifeNetwork and the Busse/Swamp Rat Forum I guess I should put up a Sticky with links to the various sheathmakers recommended by both Jerry Busse and Swamp Rat Knife Works, but for now please email me at bartolm@earthlink.net , or PM me here at this Forum. I'll give you prices and options individually, and we can discuss anything else you may think is important in choosing the right sheath for your Tramp. BTW, congrats on your choice of the Tramp as a hard use field knife -- no bigger bang for the buck anywhere !!
